Verulam: You should wear smart business dress for the two days. Training shoes or denim are not acceptable.

What do I need to bring with me?

Notepad and pens – you will be completing work in your lessons.

Lunch or money for lunch. The sixth form café in each sixth form centre will be open all day selling hot and cold drinks and snacks. At Verulam you can use cash in the canteen at break or lunch. Alternatively you may use vending machines in the sixth-form centre.

What time will I finish?

How do I get to Beaumont / Verulam?

Minibuses run at break and lunchtime. If you are studying a subject at one of the consortium schools then you will need to make your own way home. Likewise, if you are studying a subject at one of the consortium schools on Thursday morning, you will need to make your own way there at the start of the day and get the minibus back to your home school at break time.

We look forward to seeing you on the 29th June.
